Hard Court Statistics Overview
Kenny Thorne has found hard courts difficult, recording 8–24 across 32 matches (25.0%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): Kenny Thorne has yet to record a win on hard at this stage — 0–3 across 3 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
ATP Masters 1000 on hard (Indian Wells, Miami, Canada, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris): Kenny Thorne is 3–5 (37.5%) across 8 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole hard swing.
By format on hard — best-of-five: 0–4 (0.0%); best-of-three: 8–20 (28.6%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on hard.
Best season: 1993 — 4–9 (30.8%) from 13 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
